Nintendo DS pirate jailed for 2.5 years in Japan

Nintendo and the long hand of the law are clamping down on websites illegally distributing DS and DSi games. The Kyoto District Court recently sentenced 38 year-old Yoshiaki Asagiri to 2.5 years in prison and slapped a $100,000 fine for distributing DS games online without permission. Late last year, Asagiri was arrested for creating a website that made over 1,000 DS games available for download.
